    Trice is a talented MC, and the synth-funk production by Mr. Mathers, Dre, and Timbaland is top-notch.

    Trice puts a playful swing into his unlikely rhymes. [Nov 2003, p.122]

  3. Drowned In Sound

    This album is chock full of more cast iron monster tunes than any mainstream rap LP this century.
  4. PopMatters
    70
    The album comes with a full load -- 19 songs -- and some do fall off, as if he and the production crew run low on invention.
  5. Rolling Stone
    70
    What redeems Trice is his workmanlike emphasis of craft over style. It's not flamboyant, but it's impressive.
  6. Billboard
    70
    His delivery is intoxicatingly smooth, even if his lyrics travel all the usual exhausted topics.
  7. Playlouder

    Obie is, underneath all Eminem's bullshit, a nice emcee, old school, so when Em gives him a beat with some soul, he comes through.
